\"Senator<\/a>Sen. Robert WALDO Portman, where are you?!
\nAll about
\nRed and white stripes
\nAnd no blue to be seen
\nIn what
\nMight better
\nBe a black and white world
\nYet no wear
\nTo be found
\nIn this tattered democracy
\nAnd flagging civility
\nOn recess\"Senator<\/a>
\nOut of town
\nOut to lunch
\nWith a staff infection
\nKnot culpable of answering
\nTo the cell
\nWith the unapproved ID
\nAnd phase to phase metings
\nShirking responsibly
\nCovering his hide
\nAfraid to show his face
\nWith so much lie-ability<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This poem was inspired by our weekly Trump Tuesdays protest outside of Sen. Rob Portman’s Toledo office. \u00a0While on recess, he or his staff were nowhere to be found. They did not answer the phone, and when we found out that his staff were in the office, they claimed to be out to lunch — perhaps a truer statement has never been issued from that office! \u00a0We will keep showing up until democracy breaks out in Toledo and Ohio and the United States of America.<\/p>\n
